I couldn’t buy it, so I made it. That’s the origin story of Gemma’s Library! My goal was to make the inclusive books I wanted for Gemma and share those resources with other parents wanting to raise bilingual children. It’s been an honor making these books and having them included in your little one’s library!
P.S. how perfect is this audio??

Many thanks to everyone who came out to the @occhildrensbookfest this weekend. The idea for our Viet Corner started two years ago when @gemmas.library, @alicetrinhwrites, and @storytimewithcal participated in the festival and envisioned a fun space where families and book readers could discover Vietnamese children’s books.

This year, we made that dream a reality. It was special to make a space that celebrates our stories, culture, and voices in children’s literature alongside @heydaisyd who debuted her first children’s book called, ‘The Girl and the Water Buffalo.”

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and supported our work. We are showing the next generation what it means to amplify meaningful stories.

If you believe in making space for more diverse stories, follow and share your favorite authors in the comments.

One of my favorite things about this community is how many of us started the exact same way: As parents searching for books where our children could see themselves, their families, their language, and their culture.

And when we couldn’t find enough of those stories, we decided to create them. That’s why this community feels like family to me. We may tell different stories, but we’re all working toward the same goal: helping children feel seen, valued, and proud of who they are.

I’m so grateful to be building alongside these incredible creators and sharing this journey together.

Who are your favorite diverse children’s book authors or creators? Drop their names in the comments, I want this list to keep growing. ❤️📚
